Hey everyone, thanks for taking a min to help me out, I'm new here. I'm using AE CS3 and I am trying to finish a sketch, but I need to insert footage into the tv screen behind the girl here. The camera I shot with is hand held, and the girl tends to lean over a portion of the TV, plus, the camera is shooting from a perspective of another person, so it rotates a little to the left when he tries to look over her at the screen. Here are three examples:
<img src=" height="240" width="360">
<img src=" height="240" width="360">
<img src=" height="240" width="360">

if anyone can help out, I would greatly appreciate it and be in your debt!
 
You'll need to check out 4-POINT tracking which will help you attach the picture to the television screen. Then, you'll need to rotoscope (mask out) the foreground elements.

Don't forget to leave a little bit of reflection in the screen to integrate the final image into your tv!

Good luck.

Pity u didnt have a blue image on the screen when the footage was recorded. It would have worked out better than having to rotoscope.
